Day 31 - Happy Birthday China!

Happy 60th national day China! Stay around in the hostel the whole day. It was a public holiday today and most of the China students had already went back to their respectively hometown. The atmosphere of their national day here is really different. One of our China friend even SMS and urged us to watch the national day parade via the web. Their parade is special in a way as they celebrate in the day as compared to us which was at night.

Watching the parade on the web!

The empty street of the school today.

All of us opted not to go to town as we were afraid that there will be a major traffic jam. Stayed in hostel the whole day and finish up our remaining work.

Reflections
I was really surprised by the enthusiasm of our China friend telling us to watch the parade. She told us that by hook or by crook we had to watch the parade as this was their 60th birthday and the parade will be really grand and nice. We can see that the people here are really proud of their own country. The parade was also really grand with everyone of them being so synchronized. Their parade was also quite different if you was to compare it with the national day parade that you see in Singapore.
